Modern Soul & Boogie 45’s

 

Essex IV – My reaction to you / My heart just can’t take it – Wind Mill / EX / £350 (Classic modern double header that stayed rare.)

 

Major Thomas – And you know’ it  / Wake up crying – Lion’s / EX / £250 (Nice and clean copy of this very rare boogie 45. Flip is a nice ballad.)

 

Buddy Ace – It’s all for you / I’ll love you (If you let me) – Tear Drop / EX / £200 (Late 70’s release by this pedigree artist very seldom offered for sale. Two excellent sides, modern dancer backed by a lovely slowie.)

 

Krash Band with Evelyn Holder – So I can make this change (In my life) – Liberated / EX / £150 (One of my all time faves. Very hard to find especially in clean condition.)

 

Solar Fire – Funk fever – Solar / EX / £150 (Jazz funk with an almost cosmic disco feel. Super obscure Chicago 45 with a great looking label.)

 

Lamar Thomas – Feel so good inside – Mca / EX / £125 (Killer modern dancer that was reissued on a 12 inch recently. Promo copy which means company sleeve instead of the pic sleeve.)

 

Direct Pressure – Let me love you / Love flight – Future Electric / EX / £125 (Now more indemand than the Hiram & Direct 45 due to the excellent mellow boogie cut “Let me love you” only found here. “Love flight” still sounds great.)
